Download or read book History of My Life written by Giacomo Chevalier de Seingalt Casanova and published by Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1997-05-22 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Award-winning translation of the complete memoirs of Casanova available for the first time in paperback. In volumes 5 and 6, Casanova brings his flight from the Inquisitor's prison in Venice to a happy conclusion. Exiled from Venice, he goes to Munich and Paris, where he establishes himself as a cabalist, makes a fortune in Holland, helps start the French State Lottery, goes on to Switzerland where he meets Voltaire. Because every previous edition of Casanova's Memoirs had been abridged to suppress the author's political and religious views and tame his vivid, often racy, style, the literary world considered it a major event when Willard R. Trask's translation of the complete original text was published in six double volumes between 1966 and 1971. Trask's award-winning translation now appears in paperback for the first time.

Excerpt: ...the account given in the Essay upon the History of Music, according to which this celebrated woman was born in the year 1606, on the fifth of March, and did not die till the fifth of January 1741. It is very certain that at the epoch last mentioned, a woman died at an extreme old age who bore the name of Marion de Lorme, and who remembered, as she said, having 6een Cardinal de Richelieu, at the court of Louis the Thirteenth: --without assistance, without relations, ehe lived upon the alms of the parish. These facts are perfectly authenticated by the mortuary register of the parish of Saipt Paul, and by the testimony of many persons who saw her during the latter years of her life. ."' January, 1/83. It is well known that the house of Rohan has long pretended to the title of a sovereign house. Some one was speaking to the Duchess of Grammont of the dreadful bankruptcy of the Prince of Guemene," a bankruptcy which seemed to surpass in audacity, the resources of the richest and most illustrious individuals of Europe. "It is to be "hoped," said Madame de Grammont, "that, at "least, it is the last pretension of the house of "Rohan to sovereignty!..". After the irreparable losses which our literature has sustained during some years, there is hardly any which can appear indifferent to us; I think however that we ought to confine ourselves to giving here only a short account of men of letters who have been carried off within the last year. Jean-Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville, first geographer to the king, member of the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres, fellow of the Society of Antiquaries in London, and fellow geographer to the Academy of Sciences, was born at Paris, July 11th 1697, ana..".

Had herd clarendon known their use, he had preserved the unity of design in his text. His Lordship has unskilfully filled it with all that historical furniture his diligence had collected, and with those minute discussions his anxiety for truth, and his lawyer-like mode of scrutinizing into facts and substantiating evidence, had induced him. Had these been cast into Notes, and were it now possible to pass them over in the present text, how would the-story Of the noble historian clear up! The greatness of his genius will ap pear when disencumbered of its unwieldy and misplaced accompaniments.

In the north of Scotland, whence I begin these reminiscences, the try back and stand stock-stil parties were strong; the hark forward aspirants, though become numerous, were yet in a minority. In point of rationality, or discipline of the reasoning faculties, it is almost needless to add that all three were pretty much on a par.
